Specific Maintenance Details
FSC Timber
Clean with a stiff brush once per year, especially in more exposed locations, in order to prevent a verdigris type
build up on the timber surface. Ideally this should be completed in early spring. During the cleaning stage, all
exposed timber surfaces should be inspected for splits and splinters. Any splinters and graffiti should be
removed and the surface sanded with 100 grit sandpaper in order to remove any uneven / sharp edges or
surfaces.
During the first few months after installation the tannin naturally occurring in the timber may leach out and
cause a brown staining on the bases. This may be removed with a light solution of household bleach and
water.
Stainless Steel (polished stainless steel only)
Clean as required, but at least every three months, using a stainless steel polish and a lint free cloth. To remove
ground in dirt, a stainless steel finishing pad may be required.
Repairs
FSC Timber
For light damage, please see section on specific maintenance details above. For instances of heavy damage,
the timber item should be replaced. Please order against the part number reference in the reordering section
towards the end of this manual.
Stainless Steel
Light damage (surface scratches etc.) can be removed using an emery pad (240 grit) and freeing oil such as
‘WD40’. Care should be taken to follow the direction of the brushing grain. It is recommended that a trial repair
be carried out on an unimportant surface first. No corrosive cleaners or other abrasives should be used. Any
contamination, particularly carbon steel scuffs from vehicles, should be quickly removed to avoid corrosion.
Heavy Damage
In the event of serious damage to any component, replacements should be ordered from Factory Furniture Ltd.
In this event (or if the product needs to be disassembled for any reason), please contact Factory Furniture for
detailed technical advice.

Installation Instructions
ALL INSTALLATION WORKS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY COMPETENT PERSONNEL - INSTALL AS COMPLETE UNIT
Surface Fix (same for bench / seat)
Sub-surface Fix (same for bench / seat)
Straight Tree Bench / Seat (surface and sub-surface fix)
1. Install suitable foundation pads (see illustration) each with top face at
ground level or 100mm below finished ground level for sub-surface fix.
2. Unpack bases and attach to the seat using 2 no. M10 x 25mm button
head bolts per base and tighten to 14Nm
3. Position bench/seat in correct orientation with bases centrally on
foundation pads; then mark hole positions through base plates.
4. Remove the bench/seat; drill holes Ø14mm x 200mm deep (surface fix)
or Ø12mm x 75mm deep or as manufacturer’s recommendations
(sub-surface fix).
5. Clear debris from holes.
6a. (Surface fix) Fill the holes to within approximately 35mm from the
top with Hilti HY150 resin (or similar). Lift the bench/seat (with
threaded anchor rods/capnuts in place) and carefully lower the
anchors into the holes, leave for two hours to set.
6b. Using a torque wrench, tighten nuts and washers over flange plates
to 30Nm to fasten down the bench/seat.
7. (Sub-surface fix) Reposition bench/seat unit and fix each base to
foundation pads using 2 no. zinc-coated M10 x 75mm sleeve anchors
tightened to 50Nm (or as per manufacturer’s instruction). Ensure
bench/seat remains level during fixing process.
8. Check level & re-instate ground level if necessary (sub-surface fix).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ensure that stainless steel is protected during site cutting of stone –
contamination from disc cutters will produce corrosion on stainless steel
components.
